Gilson 8in Sieve Shaker with Mechanical Timer

Gilson 8in Sieve Shaker with Mechanical Timer

Gilson Orbital Sieve Shakers are the perfect solution for accurate and efficient particle size testing. These portable and user-friendly machines are designed to outperform other sieving equipment in their price range, making them a cost-effective choice for various applications.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Superior Performance: Ideal for mineral aggregate testing and sieve gradations of numerous free-flowing granular materials.
• Optimal Motion: A unique combination of back-and-forth lateral motion, up/down, and tilting actions ensures that the test specimen travels in an orbit across the sieve surfaces, maximizing the use of the mesh area. This exposes particles to the entire mesh, leading to faster and more accurate size separations.
• Versatile Material Sizing: Primarily recommended for materials in the No.4 to No.200 (4.75mm to 75µm) size range. However, they can also be used with larger materials, provided sieve loading and sample quantity specifications are met.
• Widely Accepted: These powerful 1/4hp units are broadly approved by state transportation departments for highway materials testing, guaranteeing reliability and compliance.
• Exclusive EZ-Clamp System: Gilson's innovative EZ-Clamp system allows for quick and secure locking of sieves. The integrated sieve cover effortlessly slides up and down the clamp rods with a simple push-button mechanism. A quick twist locks the stack into place. Once testing is complete, you can remove the stack without readjusting the clamps, as they remain in position for the next test.

Enhanced Durability & Design:

• All mechanical and electrical components are housed within a robust painted steel case, equipped with rubber feet for stability.
• While designed for normal freestanding operation, the shakers can also be securely mounted using pre-drilled holes in the bottom end flanges, offering flexibility in your workspace.

Power Options:

• Available in 115V, 60Hz, or 220V, 50Hz power configurations. Please note that the 220V, 50Hz model is shipped without an electrical plug.

SS-15 Series - Ideal for 8in and 200mm Sieves:

• Accommodates both 8-inch and 200mm test sieves.
• Sieve Capacity: Holds up to six full-height sieves or twelve half-height sieves, plus a pan.
• Recommended Size Range: Perfect for materials from No.4 to No.200 (4.75mm to 75µm).
• Mechanical Timer: SS-15 models feature a classic 15-minute spring-wound mechanical timer. It includes a manually adjustable knob stop for consistent repeatability and a convenient "HOLD" feature for continuous operation when needed.

Features Summary:

• Replicates hand sieving motion for superior accuracy and reproducibility.
• Accurately separates materials from No.4 to No.200.
• Trusted by state DOTs for mineral aggregate testing.
• Offers both freestanding and mounted operational capabilities.
